A software different from FRAPS and don't use a lot of hardware resources

You don't need a software for that, just press F2 and the game will take a screenshot and tell you where the picture is saved to.

Oh, I always tried 'print'


Wouldn't this be more intuitive? Well, at least I know now

Thanks!

Generally that should work as well, it just uses the OS method of doing it. On Windows at least it should take a screenshot and put it in the clipboard if you press "PrtScn" as it's known on my keyboard at least =) Then you'd of course have to paste it into e.g. Paint/Photoshop/Gimp/etc to actually use it, but it does grab a screenshot (I think there might be another shortcut to save screenshots to disk directly even just using the OS commands, but I haven't memorized it =) )

Capturing video inherently requires a lot of hardware resources - FRAPS seems about as good as anything. The Evolve client also seems to work reasonably well for capturing game video (and is free).

For Windows, I've used CamStudio.

Just another option to check out for anyone who's interested in creating gameplay videos
